DREAMS

Why do dreams feel so real?

To others they aren’t but to you they are

Hold on to your dreams

For they surely will die

I have my own dreams

And my own desires

As you dream about things that won't come true

But it pulls you in and keeps you there

My dreams are now like a broken window

The pieces are falling

The only thing keeping me together

Was the thought that one day my dream would come true

And now my dreams are shattered and hope has left me

Each was the dream you wished was true

This nightmare won't go away even when I awaken

I begin to think this nightmare will go on and on forever

Only to wish that I can dream peacefully at night

In my dream I stand alone

With only words to comfort me

You don’t leave dreams behind when morning comes

For they are the things that fill your every living moment

To only wake up and realize that your dream was not real is truly a dream

17 and still dreaming … more like broken dreams

Only will my hopes of marvelous dreams come to reality

As I will live them to this day and beyond
